Smash for Switch is coming up, and naturally the roster is one of the most discussed aspects of Smash hype. And of course with Smash 4 introducing a whole host of third-parties, including a character like Cloud, it seems like anything's possible for SSB Switch. So let's look back at some of your favorite guest characters in games past. Whether it's one you like playing or one you're just glad is there.

For me, it's definitely Mega Man. He's a bit unusual as a fighter but feels true to his home series and he can do a lot of cool things. And of course he brings a lot of cool music with him.

Though he isn't necessarily my favorite as a character, at least not anymore, Sonic is my favorite for SSB. He simply belongs there more than any other 3rd party character and fits in as well as any Nintendo character does.

Mega Man is a very close second, but they're all welcome except Bayonetta imo. She definitely doesn't belong at all, and I guess one could say that about Snake too but he's Snake, c'mon.

^^yeah most meteor smashes in 4 got nerfed in some way as a trade-off for the removal of meteor-cancelling (usually by giving them more start-up frames). mega man's solid but it feels like he got nerfed heavily between his conception and the release of the game because a lot of his moves just don't feel nearly as effective as they should.

Sonic (though I actually preferred his Brawl moveset for its confusion potential) & Pac-Man.
Snake was tons of fun, too, but he required a different sort of thinking.
I like Mega Man, but his movement & (as mentioned above) range are tricky.
I've barely used the three DLC guests yet, tbh.
